Font size

The size of the word. There are three types of printing words commonly used in book publications: lead characters, manual phototypes, and laser phototypes. The first two are rarely used at present, but they are mostly laser-typed.

1 number of lead characters, beginning number, number one, number two, number two, number three, number four, number four, number five, number five, number six, number seven, six points in points (points Or standard) as a unit.

2Manual phototypes 7 to 100 series are based on level (k).

Conversion between 3 levels and points

Level 1 (k) = 0.25 mm 1 point (p) = 0.35mm
Level 1 (k) = 0.714 points (p) 1 point (p) = 1.4 levels (k)

4 Laser phototypesetting

The size of the word is unlimited and can be arbitrarily scaled. And can produce a variety of forms of deformation characters, can do flattening, left and right tilt, yin and yang three-dimensional, hook edge, rotation, hollow net pattern characters.

The font is the shape of the word

The book publication current fonts are:

1 basic font Song, imitation Song, black body, body and so on.

2 basic font changes

For example, the "book Songs", "Paper Songs", "Standard Songs", "Three Songs of Songs", "Beauty", and "Xiao Yao's Body" in the typesetting are all variations of the old song style; The "round body" and "big black body" are variants of the black body. Mostly used for text, headings, etc.

3 Artistic figures The words “walking chanting,” “calibrating,” “weibei,” “amber,” “variety,” “water column,” “color cloud,” etc. in the typeface are all fine art. Mostly used for publication titles and so on.

3, version of the heart of the calculation

The calculation of the version of the core specifications, that is, the calculation of the version of the core capacity (the number of words accommodated on the layout), can be calculated based on the established version of the book after the text in the body of the book is determined.

(1) The calculation of the length of the line is the calculation of the length of a line of text on the page of the book. In general, the line length is equal to the plate width.

1 lead line length calculation

Lead line length = number of words × (points per word × mm per point)
Such as: a book, with the fifth word, 25 characters per row.
Line length = 25 words × (10.5 points × 0.35mm points) = 25 characters × 3.675mm = 91.875mm

2 Calculation of manual photo line length

Line length = number of characters × (number of characters per word × mm per stage)
Such as: a book, with 15k words, each row of 27 words.
Line length=27 words×(about fifth 15k×0.25mm/k)=27 words×3.75mm=101.25mm

3 Calculation of the length of the laser photo line (calculation of the lead line length)

(2) line spacing calculation

That is, the calculation of the distance between two lines of text. Determination of line spacing: generally 1/2, 3/4, 1 of the positive text. For example, a certain line spacing is 1/2 of the fifth character, ie, 5.25 points; 3/4 is 7.875 points; and 1 is 10.5 points. Or, it is 1/2 larger than the size of the word in the text. For example, for a book, the body text uses the word No. 5, and its line spacing is 1/2 of the small fourth character (12 points) (opposite), that is, 6 points (pounds).

(3) version of the core specifications

Edition Heart Size = Heart Width × Heart Height

Heart height = (word height x number of lines) + (line height x number of line spacing)

Where: word height = per-word point level * mm per point level

Row height = each line from the point level × millimeters per point level

Row spacing = total number of rows - 1
